Lothan International Environmental Consultancy
coastal power and desalination station

Power & Water

Power generation and water production facilities operate continuously and close to coastal and urban areas. We help owners, operators and contractors manage the environmental requirements that come with that position.

Overview

Power stations, desalination plants and wastewater treatment works share several environmental themes: discharges to the sea or to sewer networks, combustion emissions, chemical storage and the handling of sludge and residues. Expansions, upgrades and changes in fuel or process can also trigger new approvals.

Lothan supports these facilities with permit documentation, compliance reviews and monitoring and reporting routines. For treatment design and technology selection we work with approved technical partners, while keeping the regulatory file and the client's records in one place.

Sector challenges

  1. 01

    Brine and cooling water discharges

    Desalination brine and cooling water returned to the sea need to be characterized, monitored and kept within permit conditions.

  2. 02

    Combustion emissions

    Turbines, boilers and standby generators produce stack emissions that must be monitored and reported consistently.

  3. 03

    Treatment chemicals and storage

    Chlorination, antiscalants and other treatment chemicals require safe storage, handling records and spill preparedness.

  4. 04

    Sludge and treated effluent

    Wastewater treatment plants must manage sludge and treated effluent quality, including any reuse or disposal route.

How we help

  1. 01

    Discharge documentation and monitoring

    We organize discharge data, sampling plans and reporting so that results can be compared against permit conditions at any time.

  2. 02

    Emissions monitoring routines

    We help set up monitoring schedules, data handling and reporting formats for stack and standby emission sources.

  3. 03

    Chemical management review

    We review storage, labelling and handling records for treatment chemicals and recommend practical improvements.

  4. 04

    Sludge and effluent options with partners

    With approved technical partners we assess treatment, reuse and disposal options and document the chosen route.
